The Writer's Scheme (BJYX FanFic) - Completed

19: Who Is She? (extra chapter)

Wuxian and Wangji knew they could not go back to the past and rewrite it. So, the two agreed to start anew instead. It is as if they've started again from scratch, from the very beginning, scrapping the past which had given them both heart breaks and subsequent regrets.

They treasure each day as a new chance to explore the world with them two at the centre. There's only two things they've not touched or had barely touched: family and work. The two sore points both are not yet fully ready to share. Not because they don't trust one another, but because it will only spoil the cloud nine they are now savouring. 'Maybe next time...', 'Maybe in the future...', they will get there.

Regardless, there are much more things for each to learn on the day-to-day basis. As each day passes, the two would learn something new about the other, from the dishes they like, the colours they favour, the sports they play, the girls they've dated (which of course only applies to Wuxian because between the two, he is the only one who knew how to play around).

"Don't be jealous Lan Zhan! I am yours! Only yours!" Wuxian declared, peppering Lan Zhan's face with smooches when the latter's face turned sour after Wuxian counted the girls he has messed with in the past. Wuxian ended up promising not to even dare be close to another woman, except his family, if that would make his Lan Zhan happy.

Isn't it just two weeks ago when he said that? Because one afternoon when Wangji got off early from work and went straight to see Wuxian, there was a beautiful lady whose head was resting comfortably on his Wei Ying's shoulder.

Wangji examined the two with great seriousness and scrutiny. As he loves Wei Ying, he gave him the benefit of the doubt. He was reassuring himself that maybe she was just a close friend or a relative Wuxian had never mentioned before. He had almost convinced himself it was nothing to be jealous and angry of, until Wuxian planted a kiss on the woman's head and then whispered something on her ear which made the lady smile at him.

Wangji's eyes dimmed with malevolence. He had thought, was this what Wuxian does whenever he wasn't around? The notion of Wuxian doing something more detestable and intimate than this towards someone else other than Wangji himself gave Wangji an indescribable anguish.

He couldn't stand there and watch anymore, yet he wanted to see how far the two will go and how much more Wuxian will inflict pain in him.

However, before Wangji could decide whether to leave or stay, the-always-observant Wen Ning had seen him. "Welcome back, Detective Lan." He formally greeted with a glint in his eyes.

Wuxian and the lady spun their heads on his way too, "Lan Zhan!" Wuxian beamed. Wangji's heart would have hammered against his rib cage with the sweet smile of his beloved if not for the bubbling jealousy which makes his chest throbbed in pain instead.

Wangji was just standing there like a statue, keeping his temper in check, as the three came forward to him. It wasn't like him to lash out, but when he saw Wuxian's hand holding the woman's hand, his eyes saw red and a barely audible low guttural growl escaped his throat.

"Lan Zhan, we were just talking about you and then you came! How was work?" Wuxian greeted him domestically like a wife waiting for his husband's return. But the jealous Detective isn't buying it. Wangji's somber eyes moved from Wuxian's beautiful face to the lady on his side. Wen Ning was sure he saw the grim man's eyes twitched with the sight of the lady's arm now loosely hooked on Wuxian's own.

"Lan Zhan?" Wuxian cupped Wangji's face on his soft palms, urging him to look at him when Wangji refused to meet his eyes. He is sensing something is off the hook and he was d*mn right, when Wangji used his domineering deep and cold voice. "And she is?"

Light broke from Wuxian's face and he fell into a lovely peal of laughter which irritated the poor Wangji even more. Wuxian couldn't help it! "Lan Zhan! Oh my Lan Zhan!" He sang and pecked Wangji's lips, giving it a soft bite when his Lan Zhan did not respond to his kiss. He had never seen his beloved so formal with a lady, yet so fierce.

"This fine, gorgeous lady, my Lan Zhan, is none other than my lovely..." Wangji's ears turned red in anger with Wuxian's use of words. Whereas, Wuxian snickered and whispered on the younger's ear, "...elder cousin." He pulled away, enjoying the surprised look on Wangji's usually solemn face. "She is A-Cheng's sister!" Wuxian further explained and the lady couldn't help grinning as she extended her hand to the young Detective.

"I am Jiang Yanli. A-Xian's Shijie. Nice to meet you, Detective Lan. I've heard loving facts about you from my dearest cousin." She winked at Wuxian's direction and both fell into fits of laughter while Wangji wished for the ground to open and swallow him whole.
